Mid-century elegance

Minotti's text presents the Colette armchair as a piece that turns heads. It says the design draws on the iconic period of mid-century elegance and combines experimentation with form with sophisticated decorative taste.

A note of extravagance

The page's focus text speaks of a luster as refined as it is understated, and compares the armchair's effect in a room with cuff links on a business suit: a touch of refined elegance.
